My garage is too small for it, but I like this model anyway.

I had two '51 Chevrolet sedans many years ago.
I've often considered buying this kit to convert it to a four door model of one of my cars

You were doing fuel lines and battery cables 30 years ago? Impressive.

Dominik Weitzer
Thank you very much!
Bill, the first one I built about 30years ago. This one, the second chance for the same kit, I built in 2015.
It is interesting to see the skills over decades.

I will make some pictures from both side by side after my vacation

- panaellines from the doors on the inner panel corrected (matching to the door panellines)
- all windows adapted and installed from the outside

- Chrome trim on the Roof around removed and made from scratch
- bumpers painted with alclad Chrome
- BMF all other trim
